Some of the nation's most important natural and cultural places are in danger according to the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
CNN reports that 11 of the most endangered places include San Francisco's Embarcadero Historic District, Tucson's Sunshine Mile commercial corridor and El Paso's historic barrios.
"This year's list also reflects the fact that, at a time when cities all over America are experiencing a renaissance, historic preservation continues to be one of our most powerful tools for urban regeneration -- creating jobs, reinvigorating local economies and helping small businesses come to life," Stephanie Meeks, the trust's president, tells CNN.
